After getting my inserts from the Good Feet Store and finally being able to walk without being in…read moreexcruciating pain, I decided to celebrate by having dinner at this location in Manayunk. First, let's talk parking. Parking in Manayunk is always a challenge, especially during the summer months. There are paid parking lots further down that I would highly recommend using because street parking can be difficult to find. We made a reservation ahead of time, and I definitely recommend doing that through OpenTable. When we arrived, it was a little warm inside, and I immediately noticed it. Thankfully, I always carry a fan with me, so it wasn't a big issue. Now let's get to the real reason for this review Ali!!!! When I tell you Ali was amazing, I mean AMAZING. Her personality, energy, attitude, and spirit made our entire dining experience. She was funny, knowledgeable, attentive, accommodating, and had excellent recommendations. Great service can turn a good meal into a great experience, and that's exactly what she did. We started with the cheesesteak rolls, which were served with a spicy ketchup. They were good and had great flavor. Next was the calamari, which was absolutely delicious. It came with fried jalapeños, and when you paired a piece of calamari with a jalapeño and dipped it in the sauce, it was perfection!!! We also ordered the mussels, and if you're a garlic lover, these are a must order. They were loaded with garlic and butter sauce served with crusty bread perfect for soaking up the broth. I did take away and they dumped my bread into the sauce so it was soggy. Suggesting, give fresh bread on takeaways wrapped separate. Best of all, almost every shell actually had a mussel in it which unfortunately isn't always the case at some restaurants. They were fresh, flavorful, and one of my favorite dishes of the night. Since it was Taco Tuesday, we couldn't pass up the special: three tacos and a margarita for $18. You do have to choose one protein for all three tacos; you can't mix and match. I chose shrimp, and my son chose chicken. The shrimp tacos were absolutely delicious. There wasn't a lot on them, but the flavor was incredible. You could taste the fresh corn tortilla, and the shrimp were juicy, well-seasoned, and cooked perfectly. My son enjoyed the chicken tacos, although I personally thought the chicken was a little dry. One thing I absolutely loved was learning that the food is fresh and locally sourced. Ali explained that they don't use microwaves, and you can definitely taste the difference. For drinks, I ordered a strawberry pineapple margarita. There was a small mix-up with the strawberry, but Ali immediately fixed it and brought me strawberry syrup to make it right. Problem solved! The margaritas were delicious and STRONG, which is exactly what I like. Overall, my favorite items were the shrimp tacos, the mussels, and the margaritas. The food was great, the atmosphere was fun, and the service was outstanding!!! We enjoyed ourselves so much that we're already planning to come back for brunch and try the mimosa tower. If you visit, ask for Ali. You won't regret it!! She made an already great meal even better. We'll definitely be back!

Service was good for the most part and the food was ok. The main reason for the low rating is because as we were eating a mouse runs out from the kitchen and we brought it to the attention of the staff who took about 10 minutes to catch the mouse. Now no one from the staff apologized for the rodent issue so I'm assuming that this is a common occurrence. None of the staff seemed bothered by the situation to let their manager know and no one offered us a discount due to that scene that just transpired in front of us. So my sister and her family who live here in Philly as well as my wife and I will not be eating here again.

I wouldn't say anything is particularly special, but nothing we've tried is terribly disappointing either. The menu titles towards guilty pleasure-type food, like Shrimp & Grits or Chicken & Waffles. Plates are large and busy and crowd-pleasing. If you order a salad here, make sure to ask that it be lightly dressed. The ambience and service are both good but diminished because you must shout to be heard by the person next to you.

I went this past weekend and they didn't open until 3pm so I stopped in Taqueria first for a drink, and got to chat with the bartenders about Riptide. Something that Philly truly lacks are actual tiki bars, so Riptide definitely helps fill that gap. The spot is SMALL, only about 5? sit down tables, definitely more there for the drinks. The decor is fantastic and unlike anything else in Manayunk. Food menu is limited and I was just there for drinks so didn't try anything, but the drinks were absolutely phenomenal. I honestly don't even remember what all drinks I had since the menu isn't posted online, but just the fact that they serve tiki drinks in the correct glasses is an improvement from anywhere else on Main Street lol. The staff was fantastic, they share staff from the Taqueria who are all top notch so it was great to see Chelsea slinging drinks over there. I can def see this spot becoming a Manayunk staple, especially in the winter time if you want to scratch that tropical itch. Welcome to the neighborhood, can't wait to come back!
